Saitama prefecture had been said to have no good ramen shops in it. (Now it is well known that such kind of bad reputation was simply because of lack of attention to the prefecture when it comes to Ramen.) In 1999, the advent of some shop caught publics' attention with its shio-ramen with multi-layered flavored soup. Zenya is the name of the shop. Shortly after its opening, it has started to form a long-long waiting line every day even though it is located in inconvenient surroundings. Zenya's success has blown out the bad reputation of Saitama prefecture, since it triggered investigation of good ramen shops in it, and led the discovery of handful of noteworthy ramen shops.

As mentioned beforehand, Zenya is famous with i

ts Shio-ramen, which is the only taste offered at Zenya. Since the cook uses so many ingredients that it is difficult to tell what exactly are used for soup stock. This complication brings joy on your tongue and leads you to devote yourself to the bowl after tasting the first spoon of its soup. Its noodles are also worth of attention. They are rather thick and firm. Their wave gives comfortable texture as well. The noodles themselves are tasteful and seems going well even if served as of Tsukemen. Zenya's ramen is topped with deliverately cooked Menma, boiled spinatch, and chashu made of 2 kinds of different parts of pork, limb and loin. All of them are going well with its soup and never prevent you from enjoying the flovor of the soup.

The oredering system at Zenya is quite simple, since the menu here are limited to a few kinds. Speaking of ramen, your choice is just normal, chashu, or menma ramen. Large helping is your option, too. So all you have to do is to tell your order when asked after taking a seat.
The largest problem at Zenya is its long-long waiting line. As it is located in Saitama Prefecture, it takes nearly an hour to travel from central part of Tokyo. Moreover, it seems that people in Zenya's neighbourhood are early birds, and forms a waiting line even 30minutes before its opening time. In addition, Zenya supplys only 100 or around bowls a day and closes at around 2:00pm at the latest. So, be noticed that you need to wake up quite earlly and get well-prepared to experience this spotlighted ramen.

With its popularity, some instant ramen maker created frozen type, instant ramen of Zenya. It sounded a good news for those who hate waiting in a line. But, this trial has turned a fiasco. The taste of this instant noodles is unbelievably awful !!!!!
This is a kind of lesson that "If there is a waitng line, wait in line. Otherwise, you will never know the truth."
